[PRP][BACK-LOG] Time with Papa [Bastion x Altxorra]

[- Mynsed -]

Altxorra was troubled. Her mind was a mess. It was hard fitting into the stormborn, at least in her opinion. But she didn’t dare state her opinion out loud. She wanted to fit in, she wanted to be a good child for her fathers. But… there were those that looked down at her for having three fathers. They demanded to know who was her real father, that it wasn’t possible to have three. She would never pick one over the other however and, needless to say, her short tempered had her pouncing at the other cub.

Her eyes brightened up as she spotted Bastion, her papa. Not minding her own ruffled up fur, she dashed over to him, immediately running underneath his legs, nuzzling up against his chest. ”Whatcha’ doin’ papa?” she asked with a toothy grin up at him. No, she would never pick one father over the other.

Altxorra stared up at her father with a small frown but snuggled into his belly, eyes moving up to the stars. Her father always seemed to be troubled by something. There was no way she could tell him her own troubles.

Keeping up her smile, she rolled onto her back, humming slightly. ”I don’t think they’re dumb,” she told Bastion happily, rolling her head back to look at him. ”I think they’re pretty special. So many others can see them at the same time,” Alt pointed out, before stretching her paw up to the sky. ”And no matter how much I streetcch,” Alt stretched her paw far out before letting it drop. ”I won’t ever be able to touch them.”

Alt frowned at him, opening her mouth to protest that she was stretching hard enough. However, Bast’ion went on to tell her an important lesson. The words he was using… Alt was pretty sure she heard Zerrin getting after Bast’ion for it before. ”But I don’t want to be a pebble or a star,” she told him with a pout. ”I want to be a…” she paused, frowning as she stared at the sky.

An idea occurred to her. She grinned and jumped up. ”I want to be a bird, actually. I can fly in the sky like the stars, or I can be on the ground,” she informed him proudly, puffing up her chest arrogantly. And then she scowled at him. Or at least, an attempt of a scowl that she had seen adults do. ”Daddy wouldn’t like you talkin’ like that, papa,” she said warningly.

Altxorra beamed at the fact that Bast’ion had said she was right. She loved being right. Who wouldn’t like it? And besides, constantly being stepped on like a pebble… she didn’t want that. She didn’t want to just sit there and take it. Sure, they lasted forever, but a life of being stepped on was boring. She’d rather have a short span of freedom compared to that.

Her chiding obviously had more leverage than she had realized. A mischievous glint snuck its way into her eye and she sat, tilting her head all too innocently. ”I suppose he doesn’t have to know. But I don’t think he’d like it if I went around, repeating those naughty words. I wonder who he’d think I learned it from,” she purred before giggling. She would never actually get her papa in trouble. But seeing him like this did amuse her and it did make her want to double over with laughter.

Altxorra squinted at him, unsure. She didn’t want to get Midas in trouble with Zerrin. And besides, she didn’t think Midas would make the funny faces that Bast’ion was making. Well, it wasn’t like she would do it anyways. She was sure that saying the bad words would get her in trouble as well.

And so, she nuzzled against his leg, leaning. ”I didn’t hear any bad words today,” she told him decidedly, with a large grin up at him. ”I don’t want daddy to be mad, anyways. You get in more trouble than us.” At least, it seemed that way.

Alt give Bast’ion a frown, tilting her head. ”I don’t think daddy would have found it as funny,” she said slowly but she got up anyways, trotting with him back home to the den. Her troubles that originally drove her to find the comfort of Bast’ion had been forgotten. She was fortunate to have three dads, no matter what anyone said. She wanted to boast it to the world. Who else had three dads like her, after all?
